Get In Touch

Thanks for listening, and I would love to hear from you and stay in touch. I read the comment section of this site obsessively, so feel free to leave a comment wherever it seems good. If you want to connect in other ways, here are some of the best:

Email

If you have ideas about how to improve the show, suggestions on who I should interview, or just want to say hi send me email at

tim @ you.know.the.domain

I get a lot of email, and I respond to every sincere one that I receive. Email to that address comes directly to me, not an assistant or an auto responder. It may take a while, but unless you are a Nigerian prince or a time-share salesmen, I’ll write back.

I don’t do as well with messenger and chat apps, and it is widely acknowledged that I “suck at twitter.” The whole interrupt-based, task-switching nature of those platforms throws me. If you reach out to me on one of those platforms and I don’t get back to you, don’t take it personally. It’s not you. It’s me.

Timoth3y?

At one point in my life, that was actually my legal name, and it’s pronounced “Timothy”. It’s a silent three. The story behind the name is a rather long, sorted affair that I make a point of only telling in person, and usually only after a few glasses of wine.

Hey Tim,
Yes… I literally found the domain in 30s after I post this comment. Would you be able to have a quick chat with me, or would you prefer if I send you questions through email? I know it might make you feel awkward to see the interview request. Or if there will be any startup event you probably attend recently, I’d like to join as well. 🙂

Hi Tim – I just discovered your podcast and am loving what I hear. I look forward to listening to the archives and seeing where the podcast goes from here. If you’re looking for future episode topics, I would love to hear an overview of industries in Japan ripe for automation. There was a book I enjoyed back in the day, “Saying Yes to Japan”, and I think an updated “2017” version of this in podcast form would be super useful to folks. Best of luck from the Bay Area (and a former Japan resident)!

Thanks for listening. I know that book, but I don’t think I ever read it. I’ll give it a second look. I think in the years to come, we are going to see a lot more automation innovation here and see some amazing things done with robotics. There are a few episodes where we explore this and there will certainly be more in the future.

Are you sure everything is spelled correctly? I just sent an email to [email protected] the-domain-inquestion from a different account and I received it with no problem, and I’ve received several other emails this morning.

In the future, please consider a podcast on obtaining `start-up’ funding for a foreign company that may be considering setting up a small manufacturing plant in Japan and sell its output within Japan. I’m having a really, really hard time finding the right Japanese Government department to start a dialogue with.

JETRO would probably be your best bet. They run a number of their own programs and they also act as a kind of clearinghouse for the local FDI programs scattered throughout Japan. Particularly if you are planning on setting up in more rural areas, there are a lot of programs available.

I’m so glad to hear you, and I think the page the best way to get connected to Japanese startups is very good for me .
Great Thanks .
I’ll research and try something. If i have some problem, I’ll continue to contact.
